Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs receive price cut at MicroCenter

Microcenter is slashing prices on Intel’s 13th Generation Raptor Lake CPUs ahead of AMD’s Ryzen 7000 X3D launch. While Intel has denied any price cuts on its older 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, some retailers have begun discounting the 13th Gen Raptor Lake lineup in anticipation of AMD’s Ryzen 7000 X3D launch at the end of this month. The three unlocked “K” processors are among the price cuts.

To begin with, the Intel Core i9-13900K, which has an RCP (Recommended Customer Price) of $599 US, is now available for $529.99 US, a $70 US savings. The Core i7-13700K CPU has an RRP of $419.99 US and is now available for $329.99 US, a $90 US savings, and the i5-13600K is now available for $249.99 US, a $80 US savings from its RRP of $329.99 US.

All three Intel CPUs are readily available for purchase at Microcenter, but keep in mind that they are only available for in-store pickup.

One could interpret this as a response to AMD’s Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs, which will be available by the end of this month, but if Intel truly wanted to set these prices as a competitive move, we would have seen them across multiple retailers, which isn’t the case here. That is not to say that other retailers will not follow Microcenter’s lead and offer their own discounts, but we haven’t seen many deals from the rest of the market so far.

The Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs are appealing to gamers, and the recent Ryzen 7000 Non-X chips have been well received due to their high efficiency and comparable performance to the “X” series parts. Intel will not have any new options until the end of 2023, when they plan to release their updated Raptor Lake lineup.
